The circular bench wraps around a tree on the campus. Friends of 15-year-old Sierra, who vanished outside her home near Morgan Hill on March 16, 2012, wanted to dedicate the bench at Washington in her memory because it would have been her last year of high school.

The LaMar family and volunteers have searched for Sierra every Saturday since she went missing.

The rest of the inscription reads, "Dedicated to Sierra LaMar and the memory of all missing children. 3-16-14."

Antolin Garcia-Torres, 22, a former Morgan Hill resident, has been in the Santa Clara County Main Jail since his arrest in her kidnapping and murder on May 21, 2012. He pleaded not guilty to the charges this past Feb. 13.
